How to make an envelope with a heart?

Preparation and folds

Place a rectangular piece of paper in front of you. This can be a whole A4 sheet or half of it. Smaller sizes are also possible if you need a very tiny envelope.

Further actions consist of creating the bends we need. Fold the paper in half widthwise.

Lay out the paper and fold the side, bringing the corner to the opposite side.

Turn over to the other side. Fold the bottom of the sheet up, aligning it with the previous fold lying at the bottom of the sheet.

Turn the sheet over again to the other side and open it completely.

Fold the upper part to the fold that was obtained after the penultimate steps.

Next, the paper needs to be laid out again.

Origami envelope with clasp

Procedure:

We repeat the steps as when creating the envelope made above until we create pockets at the bottom of the lower corner.

at the bottom of the sheet we bend a small corner, it turns out to be a square;

bend the sides of the bottom corner with a square in the middle. This square forms pockets;

turn the sides of the sheet inside out so that they are on top;

bend the bottom of the sheet with the square outward;

We bend the entire bottom corner up. We tuck the side corners into the pockets of the square;

tuck the side corners into the pockets of the square;

We bend the upper corner inward, with the apex to the fold line.

we thread the valve into the resulting fastener.

The envelope with the clasp is ready.

Envelope heart

If your choice fell on this or that person and you are ready to acknowledge him, then it’s time to think not only about specific words, but also about their beautiful design. An envelope in the shape of a heart is perfect for this. Which you can do yourself.

Prepare a square sheet of red paper.

Fold the corners neatly to form a triangle. Unfold and fold on the other side. Unfold again.

Bend one of the corners into the center so that its top touches the very central point of the sheet.

Turn the sheet over to the other side and fold it in from the bottom so that the bottom edge fits onto the edge of the top side.

Fold the left side so that its edges coincide with the outermost line of the large triangle below.

On the right side, do the same steps. The result was something like an angular heart.

Turn the wrong side towards you and slightly bend the corners on the sides.

Then bend the corners at the top by 0.5-1 cm and turn the craft over. Now you can put an ambiguous note in such a themed envelope.

Felt envelope

Felt is a very soft material, you can use it to make an envelope for a disc. A very suitable gift for handmade lovers.

A good option is to sew a heart-shaped envelope for Valentine's Day. Since the material is soft and pleasant, the work will be completed quickly and without problems. Thus, you can pleasantly surprise your other half.

The next option is great for crafts with children. The use for such an envelope can be completely different: an envelope for small items, a piggy bank, a handbag or a gift bag.

To create such beauty you will need:

Solid felt, color of your choice;
Needle;
Threads, you can use several colors, the main thing is that they match the color of the main material;
Buttons or beads match the color of the thread so that they blend in.

Actions:

Next, prepare a rectangular piece of the appropriate size for you. Hard felt works well; it holds its shape best.
The next step in forming the envelope is to fold the bottom part, the top part will be the lid.
Insert the thread into the needle, select the thread to match the color of the felt. Stitch in a way convenient for you, on each side.
Use scissors to give the lid (top of the envelope) the desired shape. You can leave it as an even rectangle; the nose with a pattern will look much more beautiful.
A button or bead will act as a kind of lock for your envelope.
We make a small hole on the top of the envelope, and sew the part for the lock to the bottom part.
And then, at your discretion, you can decorate the lower part with beads, sequins or felt details. The envelope is ready.

In principle, everything that was described is handmade and scrapbooking. The first word, in principle, means to do with your own hands, only borrowed from foreign dictionaries.

Scrapbooking – literally translated, it looks like a cutting from a book. One of the types of needlework, most often used to create beautiful family albums, frames and envelopes.

Imagine and you will succeed!

Relatives in the village

Many of us have relatives, especially older ones, who live in corners of vast Russia where such benefits of civilization as the Internet and cellular communications have not yet reached. The only way to send news about yourself is to write a letter. An ordinary letter, written by hand, without correcting errors in Word, but from the heart. Seal it in an envelope and mail it. Most likely, the letter will remain at home until it gets lost among the papers, because there is no envelope in the house. To prevent this from happening, you need to make a postal envelope with your own hands. There are quite a lot of schemes, here are some of them.

You need to cut a square from an A4 sheet, then fold it according to this pattern:

First you need to find the center on the sheet and put a dot there.
Bend the sheet diagonally, slightly marking the fold.
The bottom corner is bent so that its top rests on the center point.
The side corners need to be bent towards the center so that there is a small distance between their vertices.
Where the corners touch, you need to apply glue.
Close the top flap of the envelope.

This is what a letter envelope looks like.

Note! The fields for filling out the address can be drawn by hand or printed on a printer.

Children's envelope

This option is suitable for a small surprise for a child. With a festive decoration, it will be as interesting as what is in it. The children's envelope can be used by children, for example, to store notes or money in it. It can be folded easily by following the instructions

Instructions for assembling the envelope

Take a rectangular piece of paper.
Fold the top corners towards the center.
The angle formed during folding is pressed to the bottom until both parts of the workpiece are parallel.
The same is done for the second side.
Turn the folded envelope over.
The resulting lines need to be expanded so that a rectangle with a cut appears on the front part.
The cut unfolds, the workpiece itself folds.

No glue

If you don’t have glue on hand and need to make an envelope, use this master class. We advise you to choose thick paper so that the design holds tighter. It's even better to take cardboard. But if you need an envelope for money or quick notes, even a notebook sheet will do.

Use this diagram to properly make your own envelope without glue.

If you have an A4 sheet, make it square. Place the paper in front of you so that the corners point to the sides. Bend the two triangles towards the center so that their vertices touch. The bottom edge of the envelope needs to be folded so that it overlaps the side edges, and the tab can be tucked inside. When you fold the top triangle, it will cover the entire envelope.
